Abstract

Production planning department prepares demand for the coming months considering the plant capacity, available time. Depending on this demand, inventory of the raw material is kept in the production unit. While, in the scheduling problem, the time horizon is selected as a shift, day or week. Scheduling model determines the start time, processing time, finish time and transition time. However, in most of the reported literature, production planning problem and scheduling problem are solved independently. But, to achieve the global optimum solution and minimise material flow and reduce the total cost, there is a need of integrating production planning and scheduling model. A case study based on the parallel line continuous process plant is selected and optimisation is obtained by real coded genetic algorithm (RCGA). Results show that RCGA outperforms the solutions obtained by previous researchers.
